"That is... That's just strange!" the Doctor said, ruffling his hair.

"What's strange?" Donna asked, leaning over his shoulder to look at the test results.

"She hasn't just been cloned and de-aged, she's also been temporally displaced. But why would someone do that?"

"To make a splosion to make the thing go faster," the younger Donna said, as she wiped muffin crumbs from her face.

"Hey! Where'd you get muffins from?"

"Don't be such a baby! Focus!"

"Right! First, tell us how you figured that out. Then, explain the muffins." Donna slapped him in a non-violent way.

"Well, I first remember walking out of a machine... no wait! Before that was a flashy thing. Then I came out. There was a bunch of other people. And the lady said we weren't allowed to go in the big thingy."

"What big thing?" the Doctor asked.

"Shush! Let her finish her story!"

"Yeah! Let me finish! Where was I again? Oh yeah! The mean lady. I asked her why we couldn't and she said that the machine was gonna harknesh an asplosion to make her thingy go faster. I asked her how and she said that the te... temp... temp whatever would make a big hole or something. She talked a lot. I got bored and ran away."

"What did the machine look like?" the Doctor asked.

"Iunno... it was big and round and green."

The Doctor went to the computer and started rapidly typing, quickly pulling up a few images.

"Did it look like any of these?"

"That one!" she said, pointing to an image near the middle of the clster.

"Are you sure?"

"Course I'm sure! I wouldnta said if I wasn't sure!" she huffed, pulling out another banana muffin.

"Hey! Those are my muffins!"

"Oh suck it up spaceman," Donna said, "What's so important about that machine thing?"

"I'll have to check it to make sure, if I'm right, it's really not good. You two stay in the TARDIS. Don't leave, no matter what!" he said, grabbing his coat and running out the door.

"Right," Donna said, turning to her younger counterpart, "How do you feel about going outside for a bit?"
